amanda palmer's open poem to jonathan chait (and other crimes)

ohhhh its a “salon”? (rmde)

conversation salon

any time someone says there's a q&a at an event i will be like "oh you mean a conversation salon"

web 2.0, crowdsource the content, privatise the profits yes baybeeee

lol brad

I've learned to brace myself for the worst when this thread gets bumped, but this was disappointingly low on the APCES (Amanda Palmer Cringe Event Scale). I give it a 3 out of 10.

maybe it’s hosted on Jeremy Renner’s social media app?

that would bump it up to an easy 4/10

i think my most cherished amanda palmer byproduct is the consternation that arises whenever she pulls another innocuous stunt. omg she’s writing a column o no!!!

effortless trolling, it is like an art, she should sell a series of seminars (because peeps wld get mad and it wld be funny)

I’m still back on the time she chewed on things and auctioned them off to her fans

just a rehash of one of her original controversies (crowdsourcing her string sections and not paying them for their labor). i give it a C-

Is it a coincidence she and Chait announced Substacks on the same day or do the Substack masters read ILX?

I don't dare look back through the thread to find out, but has she done NFTs yet?

shhh, dammit

I would buy an NFT of her eyebrows

she called a fucking advice column a “conversation salon” come on

-welcome to The Advice Bureau
-uh its just a roomful of ppl talking over each other
-yes. great, isnt it?
- how do i get advice
- lets table that for now, hmm?

is 77 a salon?

a toilet that you shout into

In hearings that to a song but I can’t think of what song it is

a toilet that you shout into

it is with great pride that i present to you... The Internet

i went to two conversation salons earlier today, except they were called meetings. she should like set up a zoom room or google hangout and charge people to enter and watch her check her email.

It's over

if they couldn't make it work, who could?

did they ever try to monetize couples therapy?

I assumed this happened already, didn’t they literally stop living in the same country

lmao

I guess they just grifted apart

^ omg

All time excelsior

hall of fame shit

Actual spit take

Holy shit I cackled like a witch at that.

Lmao

Regret to inform you all that she took a powerful lesson from Sinead O'Connor as well - it's the same lesson as always: never wonder "Am I the asshole?"

Am I not your asshole?

when every lens is a mirror

i’m so tired of rolling my eyes at her

i enjoyed the subtle but great running joke about amanda palmer on Deadloch (Australian murder comedy/satire series on Amazon)

is this post available to schadenreade somewhere publicly?

it didn't work on mobile but did on desktop (although I can imagine you balked at the URL!)

As I sit here with tears in my eyes, I find my complicated feelings about chat GPT getting even more complicated.

It's been so long since whatever Amanda Palmer did to make so many people (including me) dislike her that I've got to admit ... I don't remember what it was. But I saw her years ago with the Dresden Dolls, and fair's fair, the band was good. They reunited/played at Riot Fest yesterday, and while I wasn't watching them, specifically, I caught a bit of their set, and ... it was pretty good again? They brought out Melissa Auf der Maur for a Beastie Boys cover:

yeah they are touring. I hate them. I love Melissa auf der Mar though.

I don't even think that highly of the Beastie Boys tbh but no I am not clicking on that, are you fucking crazy

I will not encourage such behaviour

happy new year!

He also used to tell me: “Say less.”

Maybe this is the New Year New Me but that piece isn't actually that bad. Excluding the stick thing.

the bit about having her future boyfriend (and his publicist) meet her in the park only for them to find what she was doing pretty cringe is something
